HELP: php4.0.3dev install (from php4win.de)

Anon

I am trying to install the php4.0.3 distribution from php4win.de under win98/apache , I followed the info closely...
copied dll's to win/system, changed the extension dir in php.ini
but every time I try to load a php page, the page keeps loading and loading forever... until I have to kill the php process...

Anybody experienced this?

TIA
Sergio

I want to know if there is a "php.ini" in the directory of the PHP. if it does, please delete it.
Once I encountered an error like this. at last I found that although I edit the php.ini in the \windows but there still a php.ini in the \php . make sure you had this php.ini removed.

I had some similar problems some time ago.
You should try this.
first of all, disable de browscap.ini in the php.ini
Then check out the httpd.conf of the apache: I used:

ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php4/"

<Directory "C:/php4/">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

Action application/x-httpd-php4 '/php4/php.exe'
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php3

make sure to change the path´s to your needs, and check the browscap.ini matter.

I implemented the changes of the previous two responses (disabling browscap.ini, httpd.conf settings and no php.ini in the php4 directory, but the .php script still was unable to display the webpage in the browser.

I had to disable all extensions in php.ini. That worked for me. I will have to go through and see which ones work and which don't.

Any ideas as to why the extensions might not work. Do they all need additional software like the oracle modules, or what?

I haven't experience that problem cuz my php is running smoothly on my apache win98 before and now win2000 but still OK.

My suggestion is why don't u get the phpfiles/installer from www.php.net, that's where my php came from.. just trying to help 🙂
